Description

Two women in dark kimono stand beneath a thatched eave hung with a lantern, one glancing back over her shoulder toward the other, with a Western-style gas lamppost beside them on a hillside path. Below and behind them a pale, hazy townscape and open sky stretch into the distance under a muted, misty palette of grays, browns, and soft blue. Woodblock print by Kobayashi Kiyochika, from the series *A Hundred Views of Musashi: Atago Hill, Shiba*.
